DVH17 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2023] FCA 1390

DVH17 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2023] FCA 1390

The extension of time was refused because the applicant offered no explanation for her delay and, most significantly, the proposed ground of appeal lacked merit as it was vague, unparticularised, and essentially a disagreement with the Tribunal's factual findings rather than raising any proper legal error.
